jon talks about geno, the entire thread will soon explode. also a lot of the stuff they're saying isnt true lol. geno isnt a spirit, mario rpg released in europe with the snes classic, and geno has a fanbase in america as well, as lots of japan based polls have geno still coming on top, even ones dating back to 2006.

My dream Up-B for Geno would be a bit like a timed-hit variant of the shotgun from an older indie game called No Time to Explain.

You hit Up-B, you can then aim a shot in 360 degrees with a huge backblast. Timing it correctly and pressing B right before the shot fires changes the power and whether you can act out of it, or are stuck in freefall.

Not only do they look pretty fun, but as discussed earlier in this thread, their potted design is specifically from an old SMRPG ad. So even if we somehow don’t get playable Geno, we have, amusingly, one of the few character designs related to the game that Square doesn’t own the rights to.

As that Wiki article states, there was a single earlier time with a very, very different design in the Super Show cartoon, but the Japanese ad is the first time that potted Pirahna Plants were used by Nintendo, with a design that’s very similar to the Ultimate appearance.

What does square have to worry about? All they are doing is allowing Nintendo to use Geno. 1. They get money from them just using him period and from how much he sells as dlc which will be a lot. I say he is still a lock as a playable character aka DLC.

It was kind of a meh game at best, final boss was really easy and after I beat the main story, I just unlocked all the music for the car/mp3 and just rode around on my Chocobo, not much else to do (except maybe fighting the Adamantoise, which takes around 3-4 hours to kill, kind of ridiculous imo).

Sakurai pretty much ported over most miis costumes (Even Chrom. So yeah, Robin can call Chrom in his FS to kick Chrom's butt while a Mii with a Chrom outfit is watching.) so when he saw Geno , he must have been like "Hey , let's make him a Spirit for now. I don't think SE will make me pay for such an old render. ". It's not like "Oh lol he's not in so here is your 3rd place medal" but something that doesn't need much effort to do.

A Spirit battle doesn't need much, It's pretty much an event match with some customs stats. If he did so much , what is another one? And what is removing ONE SPIRIT? Or simply , keep it because It's cool and Geno isn't in the Story mode wich Spirits are only used in ?

And even then , it would be a Good introduction for New players if he is DLC , he won't be a complete "who?" to a casual fanbase.

Or maybe I'm just grasping at straws.

The only thing I have to said is :
-A spirit and his battle take even less time than making a 3D smashified render for trophy. It's just a JPEG and a funny scenario.

To be honest, this has basically been Square Enix since the PS1. Square Enix is notorious for going way over the top with their projects, dragging them out for years only for them to 1. Be cancelled or 2. Cost so much that even successful games barely get them a net profit. This is probably the reason they hardly actually own a vast majority of their own IPs.

Unironically mains weird characters.

Other people have pointed that out because Nintendo has been really, really good at listening to fans as of late. Pretty much all the DLC for first and second party games has been homeruns in the last two years. Also, think about all the stuff that had happened because of fan demand: Animal Crossing Switch, Luigi's Mansion 3, Mario Party going back to the old style, Mario Tennis returning to form, Wario Ware returning to form, console Pokemon games, open world Mario and Zelda, the SNES Classic a year after the NES Classic, Metroid Prime 4 and Samus Returns, etc. A lot of these are things that people have been begging Nintendo for years for. Nintendo's has been killing it up and beyond levels we've ever seen these past couple of years.
